Got to video 12 of 14, and started spewing all this stuff about RegexNotFoundError, and to please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug.
As far as checking whether I've got the latest version, I did:
$ sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
$ sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
Then:
$ sudo youtube-dl --update
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2018.10.05)
but, when I did:
$ youtube-dl --version
2018.03.14
$ youtube-dl --update
Usage: youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
youtube-dl: error: youtube-dl's self-update mechanism is disabled on Debian.
Please update youtube-dl using apt(8).
See https://packages.debian.org/sid/youtube-dl for the latest packaged version.
So, I'm not even sure if I've got the latest version.
$ sudo apt-cache show youtube-dl
Package: youtube-dl
Architecture: all
Version: 2018.03.14-1
....
thus, the conundrum
